VA Home Loan
A VA home loan can be used to build a home, to buy a new home, for energy efficiency home improvement, or to refinance your existing home loan. Even if you have already taken advantage of a VA home loan, you may still have a remaining entitlement which you can use for another loan up to the amount of $36,000.

Buy a House
There are several options to look into if you are interested in buying a home
and several loans available to help you in this process:
- If you would like to have your new home built so that you can customize
it to your tastes, there are construction loans that pay for materials, land
and labor necessary to construct your house. Repayment of this loan would
not be necessary until the construction period ended and you were able to
move into your brand new house.
- For families with lower incomes who may not be able to provide a large down
payment, FHA loans are available. FHA loans are insured by the Federal Housing
Administration but funded by a conventional lender, and limits the amount
of risk to the lender. This lack of risk is transferred to you through lower
down payments and lower interest rates. VA loans are much the same. They are
provided by conventional lenders but insured by the Veterans Administration.
A VA insured loan requires no down payment at all and has a very low interest
rate. Visit the Department of Housing and Urban Development website (www.hud.gov)
to find out more about federally insured and funded home loans.

Mortgage Calculation
Mortgage calculation can help you foresee any snags that could occur in the future and also help you double check that the repayment schedule makes sense. Some borrowers have fallen prey to loan terms that cause negative amortization. Negative amortization occurs when the monthly payments of a loan do not adequately pay off the principal and accruing interest. In this case, the outstanding balance will increase instead of decreasing as you make your monthly payments. When this happens, it is generally with dishonest and, perhaps, questionable lenders. Though the odds are against this happening to you, it is a good idea to be aware of negative amortization and to take an interest in the make of your mortgages amortization.

This way you can know if your credit has improved or if it has gained a few blemishes. Also, it will give you a chance to see if there are any mistakes on your report that could damage your chances of finding the right mortgage and allow you time to have these mistakes removed. Knowing your credit will help you to have realistic goals while shopping for your mortgage.

Reverse Mortgage
Once the borrowing period has ended, which does not occur during the life of the homeowner unless he or she decides to sell, the home does not necessarily have to be sold. The homeowner’s heirs can take out a regular mortgage in order to keep the home. Also, if the house is sold and the selling price does not cover the amount of the loan, the loss is covered by insurance, and not through the borrower’s estate.
